This weekend I competed in the first annual college cup as apart of CALS. I read the viewpoint article entitled, “College Cup does not solve communication problems” and I disagree with the statements made in the article. The College Cup was an amazing way to bring students from every college together to compete and to communicate with each other. I met so many awesome people from all the different colleges and we all had a great time. We learned a lot about each other and we got to have some friendly competition while doing it. In the article it states that it’s not Student Government’s job to create traditions but to fix the communication issue with students, but what better way to communicate with the students than to bring students from all the colleges together to meet and get to know each other. The whole point of College Cup is to bring the University together as one Wolfpack nation. Student Government had the opportunity to meet numerous students and create a great environment for students to share what they feel, and they did just that. Student Government, and especially Scott Moore, did an amazing job with the College Cup and I believe that it will become a great tradition here at N.C. State. Everyone I talked to at the event said that they could no twait to participate in the event next year. Overall, College Cup was an extremely positive event and it was a great way for Student Government to bring a diverse group of students together and create unity on the N.C. State campus. Scott Moore and his fellow members in Student Government did a superb job and they are doing a great job minimizing the divide between themselves and the students. Rachel Turner sophomore, biology
